i thought i had lost you // destiel au

Five

When Castiel wakes his head is pounding. He pushes himself up from the ground while wincing in pain, wings hurting as they move. He groans as he gets up and then looks to Dean's cell to see if he's okay. A feeling of relief flows through him when he sees Dean sitting in his cell, appearing unharmed.

He's about to call out to him when he remembers Dean can't hear him. He sighs, but in disappointment and sadness.

His wings perk up when he hears familiar footsteps come down the hall. Anger flows through him as they grow nearer. Soon, Crowley appears in front of the cell, staring right at him even though he cannot see or hear him.

"Your.. omega is aware of your presence, I am afraid. Though, it is somewhat lucky for you," Says the demon. "For we need to use that cell for some new prisoners." Crowley looks to some guards out of view for Castiel, "Okay, do the exchange."

One guard goes to the door of Dean's cell and unlocks it, walking over to him. Cas subconsciously moves to that direction in an attempt to protect Dean, but can only grab the cell bars.

Dean glares at the guard coming up to him, putting his hands out as a warning. "Get away from me." He says. The guard doesn't care and grabs his arm roughly, leading him out of his cell. "Get- Get off me! Let go of me, you son of a bitch!"

Crowley unlocks Castiel's cell door, pausing to speak. "Step away from the front of the cell, Castiel. I don't want any second attempts. It would not go well for you," He looks back at Dean who is struggling to get the guard off him out of fear. "Or your boy toy over there." He says nonchalantly.

Castiel growls but back away, not wanting anything to happen to Dean. Crowley opens the cell, moving to the side so the guard can throw Dean into the cage. The brit locks the cell door and waves at the cell as a goodbye. Dean groans and rubs his head where it hit the grody and dank stone floor.

Castiel stares at him on the floor and says with worry, "..Dean?"

Dean's eyes almost well up with tears right then and there. He turns around instantly, seeing the outline of a person in the dark. The figure walks closer into the light, showing Castiel. Dean doesn't know what else to do other than run into his arms, hugging him with more strength than every angel and demon combined.

"Cas.." He says, mumbled into Cas's shoulder. "I-I can't believe you- That you're-" Dean let's our a choked, sorrowful sound. "Cas I thought I'd never see you again.."

The prince rubs Dean's back as he hugs him tight. "Me neither.." He says. "Dean, I've missed you so much.. I'm so sorry, I said I'd be back okay but I- I'm-"

"Cas just shut up. You're here now. Or, at least I am. All I want is to see you right now."

Cas pushes Dean and looks into his eyes. Because of the lighting it's hard to see his eyes, but he can see a little green. The alpha smiles and captures Dean's lips with his own, placing a hand in his hair and running his fingers through it carefully. They share the kiss for quite awhile before pulling away. Castiel takes note of the necklace.

"You kept the feather?"

Dean nods, holding it in his hand. "Of course."

Cas holds the locket in his hand, opening it. He smiles at the picture of him. He looks to the left side of the locket and freezes. "I-Is that.."

Dean looks at what photo he's looking at and smiles, grabbing his lover's hand. "Yes. Our son."
